Russian President Vladimir Putin has implemented just 28 of his
election promises, the pro-government group All-Russia People's Front (ONF)
has announced.

Putin signed 218 of his pre-election pledges into law on his
inauguration day in 2012 as part of a legislative package known as “the May
Orders.”

Deadlines for 171 of Putin's promises, many of which focus on the
country's long-term economic and social policies, have already
passed.

“At this time, 16 percent [of the orders] have been fully
carried out,” said Alexander Brechalov, co-chairman of the ONF's
central staff in a press conference on Tuesday. “Another 53 percent
require more work, and 31 percent have not been implemented,” he
said.

The ONF, a political group which elected Putin as its leader in
2013, has been tasked with assessing the government's work to
implement the pledges.

The government announced in May 2015 that they had already put 139
of the orders into action.

Among the objectives included in the May Orders were
the creation of 25 million jobs in the high-tech
sector by 2020, a 200-percent increase in doctors'
average salaries by 2018 and the addition of 250,000
contract servicemen to the Russian army by 2017.
